sql server dts : DTS always breaks.

Why does DTS always break when copying all objects and data from one
database to another?

It doesn't seem to matter which version of SQL Server, which server, which
server OS, which settings, which anything ...

Title Bar:
"DTS Import/Export Wizard"
Message:
"Failed to copy objects from Microsoft SQL Server to Microsoft SQL Server."

Thank you for the feedback, Allan.

My goal of the moment is to create a new database, and then make all of its
objects and data exactly the same as another database in the same instance
of SQL Server.

In my situation, I have difficulty thinking that it may be a permissions
problem, since I have all available administrative privileges.

"Backup and Restore" will work. I was just wondering why DTS cannot handle
this.

I personally never use this task as I find that if I do think I need to use
it then BACKUP RESTORE is ar quicker. The errors you get with this task are
almost always to do with permissions and or taking over local users to a
remote server.

Thanks, Jacco. That works. It's nice to have more than one way to go about
doing things.

Hi Jim,

If you use this task, uncheck "Use default options", click the Options...
button and uncheck "Copy database users and roles" and "Copy object level
permissions" (alternatively you can check "Copy SQL Server logins",
depending on what you want.)
